Extreme gingerbread

As I promised yesterday, here is another project by Priscilla Glover and Ivan Spaller of Urban Nature Inc., thanks to Tammy, their realtor. This time it’s a Victorian home built in 1890 that was moved from Marlin, Texas to the heart of Austin – which explains why Tammy calls it “extreme gingerbread”. The entire home was restored and updated in just over a year, maintaining much of the classical architecture while adding modern touches. I’m completely smitten with the exterior. Who cares what the inside looks like – I’d be sold on it while pulling up out front. (See more photos here and check out more of their work here).

Absolutely stunning home!The porch, the kitchen, the entryway, the simplicity of the bedroom. Makes my blood pressure do down just looking at the pictures.I especially admire what they added to the third floor – that floor to ceiling bank of windows, tucked in under the peak. Innovative!
